Business bid to beat crimeNICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

Bo-Kaap businesses have spon-sored two security guards ina bid to keep customers and

staff safe.The officers will patrol between

Rose, Wale and Buitengrachtstreets to prevent opportunisticcrime and loitering.Business owner Michael

Boutrey says two neighbourhoodwatch members have been em-ployed through the project.“Two businesses have recently

closed or moved due to crime. Wedecided to do something for our-selves and make the area safer forbusinesses and tourists,” he says.Green Point Improvement Dis-

trict chief executive Marc Trusssays due to thenumber of homelesspeople living in close proximity,the most pressing security issuefor businesses is the numerous in-cidents of theft out of motor vehi-cles.“Robbery is also very common,

as is riotous behaviour due to alco-hol or drugs, intimidation, damageto property and urinating in pub-lic,” he says.Truss believes the patrols act as

an added security measure.“Patrollers will provide a visible

presencewhich helps to keep crim-inals at bay. They can also immedi-ately alert the improvement dis-trict or police if any incidents oc-cur,” he says.“Apart from being a residential

area, the Bo-Kaap is also a majortourist attraction.A largemajorityof businesses in the area benefitfrom this financially and thereforeit’s very important to keep the areaclean and safe.”Tourists are often targeted by

criminals, Cape Town Central po-lice spokesperson Captain EzraOctober previously told People’sPost.These are not usually reported

owing to the visitors’ short stay inthe city, he explained.

Boutrey says employing the se-curity guards is a way to uplift thecommunity.“There is unemployment in the

area and this is a form of the busi-nesses giving back. The patrollers,because they are locals, know whobelongs in the area. Their heartsand souls are in the area and in thisway the whole community bene-fits,” he says.Having a patroller familiar with

the neighbourhood has a numberof advantages, Truss says.“There is an established line of

communication with the resi-dents, business owners and ten-ants. They understand the way oflife and the culture, which adds upto creating a more efficient systemof pro-activeness. Knowing the ar-ea and its geographical layout cancurb any escape or hiding placesthat would be unfamiliar to a

stranger,” he says.Neighbourhood watch chairper-

son Anwar Valley says although itis too soon to measure the resultsof the patrols, he hopes it will leadto less crime targeting tourists.The patrollers encourage va-

grants to move along, as well asmonitoring car guards working inthe area, Boutrey says.They also escort staff to and from

their cars, should they feel unsafe.

“We’ll be looking at the needs ofthe businesses over the comingmonths to define what is needed,”he adds.There are also plans to expand

the project. “Once we know thatthe patrols are working, we’ll lookat including private contributionsto include night patrols,” he says.Valley hopes this will lead to fur-

ther employment opportunities forlocals.

CRIME

Statistics: numbers are upNICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

Murders in the Cape Town Central Policeprecinct dropped by half, down to five be-tween April 2013 and March 2014.

This is despite the province recordingthe highest increase inmurder cases in thecountry, according to the latest crime sta-tistics.

However, assault with intent to do griev-ous bodily harm increased by 27 cases,bringing the total to 158.

National PoliceMinisterNkosinathiNh-leko and National Police CommissionerRiah Phiyega released the national annualcrime statistics on Friday.

In response, Cape Town Central policespokesperson Captain Ezra October saysassault cases happen sporadically anddon’t show any clear trend.

“Crime prevention strategies were im-plemented to prevent these crimes fromoc-curring as this type of crime is commonamongpeople living on the street,” he says.

Assaults are often linked to robberies ornightspots in the precinct, October ex-plains. “There is the tendency that peopleare thrown out of a club and then assaultscontinue outside in the street,” he says.

Cape Town Central Community PoliceForum chairperson Nicola Jowell says thestats have shown mixed results. “Therewere some good reductions but also areasof concern. The CPF remains concernedabout the resourcing levels at Cape TownCentral which has seen significant chang-es in the last five years,” she says.

While theft of motor vehicles dropped14% to just under 340 reported cases, theft

out of motor vehicles has spiked to 3617 re-ported cases, an increase of over 320 cases.October says: “The arrest of a group thatstole motorbikes contributed to the stabil-ising of this crime category.”

Drug-related crime continues to climbwith 2150 cases reported – an increase ofalmost 200 cases.

Drunken driving increased by 50, bring-

ing the total to over 400.Jowel says the increase in drunken driv-

ing- and drug-related arrests is positive.“These statistics are a direct reflection

of how active the police are as the numbersare a result of direct intervention from po-lice.We are pleased to see them continuingto implement operations that target theseareas,” she says. “However, there is a deep-

ly concerning situation that each year thepolice are under pressure to increase thenumber of arrests. The stats show thatdrug related arrests have increased byaround 50% in the last 10 years. But thismeans that police resources have been di-verted from other areas.”

Jowell believes this diversion has im-pacted on other types of crime.“Althoughdown this year, house and businesses rob-beries have increased if you look at the 10year pattern. Over this extended periodwesee that house robberies have doubled andbusiness robberies have increased from 1to 15 incidents. We anticipate that the in-crease in these crimes will continue andwill be reflected in the statistics to be re-leased next year,” she says.

TheSeaPoint police also sawan increasein common assault, which jumped to 121cases, compared to 115 in the previousyear. While theft of motor vehicles re-mained exactly the same, police reporteda drop in theft out of motor vehicles by al-most 10%. Drug related crimes fell by 40cases to 770.

The Sea Point police had not commentedat the time of going to print.

Provincial minister of Community Safe-tyDanPlato has found the statisticsworry-ing. “I am deeply concerned that the West-ern Cape has recorded worse results thanlast year and considerably worse resultscompared to the national averages in al-most allmajor crime categories. The statis-tics make it clear that when it comes tocombating crime in South Africa, we can-not have a business-as-usual approach.The year-on-year increases in crime mustbe stopped,” he says.

MyCiTi makes minor changes to its routesA recent review of theMyCiTi serv-ice will see a number of changes tosome routes over the next month.Over 7million journeyshavebeen

recorded along the various routesbetween 1 July 2013 to 30 June thisyear, says the City of Cape Town’sMayoral Committee member forTransport Brett Herron.“It is clear from these statistics

that as the service expands, moreand more residents rely on the My-CiTi buses to travel around the city,be it to get to work, school or else-where,” he says.“As such, the City has a responsi-

bility to ensure that, as far as possi-ble, theMyCiTi servicematches thepassenger demand on all the routes.We therefore conducted an optimi-sation exercise to assess to what ex-tent the resources at our disposal –from our human capital to our bus-es and infrastructure – are opti-mised to best suit the currentneeds.”This will see the number of trips

increase during peak periods androute timetables being revised.As from Saturday 4 October, a

short-turning routewill be included

along Route 103 (Oranjezicht, UpperKloof, Gardens, Civic Centre) dur-ing themorning and afternoon peakhours. During these periods, buseswill travel between the Civic CentreandGardens tomatch the increaseddemand along this route. The partof the route that runs through theresidential area of Oranjezicht willstill be served but there will be few-er buses, matching the passengerdemand of this part of the route.Route 113 alongOceanViewDrive

(Sea Point, Fresnaye, Three AnchorBay) will be discontinued as fromMonday 6 October.As from Saturday 18 October, the

buses driving along routes 106 and107 will only operate betweenCamps Bay and the Civic Centre,cutting out the extension to the Wa-terfront Silo stop.Routes 108 and 109(Hout Bay, Imizamo Yethu, Hang-berg, Sea Point and Civic Centre)will see significant changes in ac-cordance with passenger demand.Buses on route 108A will only oper-ate between theCivicCentre via SeaPoint to Queens Beach.Buses fromHout Baywill not stop

at Queens Beach, but will continue

to operate along Sea Point MainRoad.The Hout Bay Service will now

end at the new Adderley Street sta-tion and not the Civic Centre sta-tion.An express service will be intro-

duced on the very busy T01 trunkroute (Wood, Table View and CivicCentre stations) to alleviate bothtravelling andwaiting times duringthe peak hours in the morning andafternoon. Pending the delivery ofthe 18-metre buses, the express serv-ice will be operational within thenext six months.The roll-out of the second phase of

the N2 Express service to MitchellsPlain and Khayelitsha is scheduledfor the end of the year, after a fleetof 20 18-metre low-floor buses is de-livered. The MyCiTi survey con-firmed an extremely low passengerdemand on this route, with about 80passengers every weekday, and vir-tually no demand during the inter-peak hours, after 20:00 or on week-ends.V Visit www.myciti.org.za for more information on the changes or phone the TransportInformation Centre on 0800 65 64 63.

Small businesses ‘suffering’Widespread complaints are being receivedfrom small businesses about massive in-creases in electricity accounts.This is according to a statement by theCape Chamber of Commerce and Industry.What appears to be happening is that theCity of Cape Town is extending the use ofdaily service charges to more customersand this is resulting in account increasesof up to 223%, says the statement.“The shocking thing about this,” says Ja-nineMyburgh, president of the CapeCham-ber of Commerce and Industry, “is thatthere has been nowarning and no consulta-tion with customers. This is not the waythings should be done. Customers should betreated with respect.”The small businesses facing this newblow are the electricity consumers who al-ready pay the highest electricity tariffs inthe city.According to council’s official tariffschedule, there are two categories of smallcommercial power users (under 1 000 kW/ha month). In the first category consumerspay a daily service charge of R22.25 (R25.37with VAT) and an energy charge of R36.83a unit including VAT. The second categoryhas no service charge but a higher energycharge of R213.97 a unit includingVAT. Thescheduledoesnot explainhowusersqualifyfor thedifferent categories.Andnoexplana-tionhasbeengiven to justify the suddenuseof daily service charges for businesseswhich were not required to pay it before.Myburgh calls this “sudden increase of223% both unreasonable and unacceptable.“If there is a legitimate reason for the

change it should be phased in after a proc-ess of consultation. As it now stands, onecan empathise with people who feel it is asneaky way of getting more money out ofsmall business.“The country is looking to small businessto help the economy grow and create jobsand then the City treats them like this.”Peter Haylett, chairperson of the Cham-ber’s Industrial FocusPortfolioCommittee,says the underlying problem was that theCity had relied too much and for too longon its income from electricity sales. “Nowbusinesses and domestic consumers arefinding ways to use less electricity and theCity is losing revenue.”He says it was in the national interest forpeople to use less electricity so that therewould be more current available for indus-try and the mines. “We should thank thembut the City is punishing them with trickslike the daily service charge to increasetheir electricity income. Small business isbeing punished for doing the right thing.”

ROELAND STREET

Heritage boost for schoolNICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

History at Harold Cressy High is notonly taught in the classroom.Now it is part of the building itself,

as the school has been declared a heritagesite.The Roeland Street school will officiallybecome a provincial heritage site at a cere-mony on Heritage Day (Wednesday 24 Sep-tember).The school is over 60years old and is situ-ated in the former District Six, where gov-ernment removals under apartheid forci-bly relocated thousands of families.Chairperson of the Alumni AssociationDr Shafick Ismail says amid the devasta-tion that took place as a result of the GroupAreas Act, HCHS and the entire Cressycommunity withstood all forces to closedown the school.“The provincial heritage status declara-tion will allow it to forever remain a sym-bol of resistance to apartheid,” he says.School spokesperson and former pupilFatima Allie says the school perpetuatesthe memory of injustices of society.“Wewere determined to defend the right

to remain in the city and proclaimed ourright to a first class education. In thewaste-land of the once vibrant District Six, Ha-rold Cressy School still stands. The herit-age value of the school is grounded in itsvalues of non-racialism, and service in thepublic interest and the welfare of societyfrom its founding in 1950,” she says.Principal and former pupil, KhaliedIsaacs says: “It is an accolade long overduefor the great teachers who made the suc-

cess of the children who attended thisschool possible during the many decadesof the struggle for a democratic and just so-ciety.”The school was awarded heritage statusas it perpetuates the memory of HaroldCressy, “a remarkable man who has be-come a living embodiment of the high ide-

als and spirit of resilience with which hewas confronted,” Allie says.“The heritage value of the school lies in

the intangible, its function and its rolewithin the District Six cultural landscapeand narrative,” she says.Harold Cressy co-founded the Teachers’

League of South Africa and was an advo-

cate for the rights of coloured teachers.He fought for the council to find suitablepremises for the school within the CityBowl.“Most of the learners come from a previ-ously disadvantaged communities andconsider the school their other home,” Al-lie says.

TOURISM

A moving tour ofthe Mother CityNICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

As TourismMonth gets into full swing,Capetonians are encouraged to ex-plore their city.

One tour guide is offering an alternativethat is bound to quicken your heartrate.Philippa Jephson offers sightseeing on

the run – literally.Her unique running tours give tourists a

glimpse of everyday life, taking themthroughsomeof themost scenic areas of theMother City.The idea originated while Jephson was

working in Argentina. “I have always beenpassionate about travel, languages andmeeting people from different cultures andbackgrounds. A few years ago I was livingand working in Buenos Aires and I cameacross the concept of ‘sightrunning’ as away of showing visitors to a city the sightsin a unique, active, healthy and green way.When I came back to SA I decided to bringthe concept here,” she says.“With its mild, sunny climate and ex-

tremenatural beauty, CapeTown is the per-fect city for getting people outside and see-ing the sights while on the run. So I did atourist guiding course and started a smallrunning tour company called Run CapeTown,” she says.

The bigger pictureRun Cape Town offers individuals or

small groups auniquewayof running toursthrough various parts of the city.Jephson has been named one of Cape

Town Tourism’s remarkable women im-pacting on tourism in the Mother City.Tourism plays a major role in growing

the local economy, as the city is a premierholiday destination for international anddomestic visitors throughout the year, saysCape Town Tourism CEO Enver Duminy.“This in turn has given rise to a diverse

business landscape of tourism-related busi-nesses. It has also openedup entrepreneuri-al opportunities and skills development,and has made its mark on the quality of lifein Cape Town by encouraging lifestyle de-velopment, investment and cross-sector ef-forts to create a safe and liveable city,” hesays.The economic value of tourism in Cape

Town is estimated to be over R12bn a yearand generates close to 35 000 permanentjobs as a result.Duminy sayswomenhavebeendrawn in-

to tourism in large numbers, from runningsmall B&Bs “to those that influence the vi-sion and direction of tourism in the re-gion”.“Our city andour industry is overflowing

with extraordinary women. From the eve-ryday heroes bringing up their children tobe compassionate community members tothose who are trailblazing and leading usall, we salute women and the central rolethey play in tourism.”

Promoting a healthy lifestyleHowever, the company does slow down

once in a while to give back and createawareness, Jephson says.“The long-term goal for Run Cape Town

is to create job opportunities for previouslydisadvantaged individuals who are run-ners themselves and are interested in be-coming involved in tourism,” she says.Run Cape Town has provided a freelance

job opportunity for their Gugulethu run-ning guide, Vincent Ntunja, who takes visi-tors on running tours of his home.While the running tour through Gugu-

lethu is available to anyone, a special runfor locals takes place on a Saturday morn-ing every month.“This has become a socially conscious

and wellness awareness-type activity thatbrings people from different communitiesof Cape Town together through an activesporting activity, allowing interaction,sharing and an increased awareness of howdifferent people in our city live. It is alsopromoting a healthy and active lifestyle inGugulethu,” she says.“If more and more people see us getting

up and running through the streets, peoplemay choose not to jump in the ‘cockroach’taxi to get to themall, butmaydecide ratherto walk there, or even put on their runninggear and join us for a run instead of just sit-ting on the sidelines and cheering ‘baleka!’as we run past.”Baleka is isiXhosa for run.RunCapeTownholds an annualMandela

Day Run of 6.7km and collects blankets forcharity. This year they donated them to StAnne’s Homes in Woodstock.

Have your say on peace centre planA public participation process may soon beunderway to enable the Desmond and LeahTutu Legacy Foundation to lease four ervenin Buitenkant Street.The City of Cape Town’sMayoral Commit-

tee has recommended that council under-take a public participation process so thata peace centre can be established.The erven, located in the East City Pre-

cinct, includes the Old Granary buildingwhich is recognised by heritage experts asbeing one of the most significant architec-tural landmarks in Cape Town.The 203-year-old building is situated on

land that is more than 2 000 m² in size andwas first used as a customs house and laterhoused the post office.It previously served as a granary, magis-

trates court, women’s prison, and PublicWorks Department.Deputy mayor Ian Neilson says the build-

ing’s rich history should be well preservedunder the banner of the Desmond and LeahTutuLegacyFoundationwhich is associated

withArchbishopEmeritusDesmondTutu,a Nobel Peace Prize laureate.“The building is an important public as-

set and, as such, it is essential that it hasa public function to the benefit of the Cityand the broader community. Our recom-mendation to council heralds our inten-tion to embark on the public participationprocess for this proposal,” he says.“In addition, we believe that such a pro-

posed lease agreement and use for theproperty will leverage the City’s assets todrive economic growth and sustainable,inclusive development.”In 2006 the City leased a portion of land

of about 3 500m² – located opposite the CT-ICC building on Coen Steytler Avenue – tothe Desmond Tutu Peace Trust for 50 yearswith the intention that the trust developsa peace centre there. For various reasons,this plan did not materialise.

The trust is in the process of being woundup and replaced by theDesmond andLeahTu-tu Legacy Foundation.It was therefore proposed that the current

lease with the trust be cancelled and that theOld Granary building – which is consideredmore appropriate for the establishment of a

peace centre – be leased to the Tutu Founda-tion, subject to due process including publicparticipation and, ultimately, for approvalby council.Neilson says this proposal will serve to re-

store an important heritage site and to re-generate the East City precinct.It will also ensure that the legacy of Arch-

bishop Tutu is recognised by generations tocome.

The development of the Strand StreetQuarry has been put on hold.Funding was set aside in February

last year and tender documentation wassubmitted to council’s supply chain man-agement department two months later.But by June last year, when the consult-

ant teamwas due to be appointed, the fund-ing had dried up.According to a report submitted to the

mayor last year, the funds were all chan-nelled to the Cape Town Stadium, eventhough it was expected that the R4.5mneeded to kick-start the precinct planwould be sourced from funding freed up onthe City of Cape Town’s adjustment budg-et.Despite the City of Cape Town’sMayoral

Committee Member for Economic, Envi-ronmental andSpatial PlanningJohanvander Merwe earlier this year claiming thatthe City “would still like to see develop-ment happen in this area as soon as possi-ble because of the clear opportunities andbenefits this would present,” (“More quar-

ry cash hurdles”, People’s Post, 13 Febru-ary), he now says the project will be puton hold.“The City can confirm that a hold has

been placed on the precinct plan processpending the outcome of the SANParks fea-sibility study. The City awaits a cost bene-fit and economic evaluation to assess theavailable options for the prioritisation ofthe Strand Street Quarries precinct plan,”he says.SANParks is currently carrying out risk

assessment feasibility studies to exploreusing the Strand Street Quarry as a tour-ism gateway to Signal Hill and the NoonGun, which sees a million visitors everyyear. The project may include the installa-tion of a funicular – a cable railway whichpulls tram-like vehicles up the rock face –or a cable car similar to that on TableMountain.SANParks spokesperson Merle Collins

says the construction dates are “subject tothe study and discussions with the City”but the lack of funding from council hasnot impacted on the SANParks study.Bo-Kaap Civic Association chairperson

Osman Shaboodien says residents are dis-

appointed by the delay as they are fed upwith security issues around the site. An-war Valley, Bo-Kaap NeighbourhoodWatch chairperson, says the quarry is be-ing used as an escape route for criminalsand a security upgrade is needed.Marc Truss, CEO of the Green Point City

Improvement District, says any develop-ment would be an improvement to the“problematic area”. The improvement dis-trict currently carries out ad hoc cleaningand social intervention in the area, butTruss believes the site requires continu-ous activity to keep it free from criminals.

Perk up plan for promenadeNICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

Amulti-million rand upgrade of the SeaPoint Promenade is due to start thisweek.

The seawall along thepromenadewill alsobe refurbished, resulting in the popular spotreceiving a much-needed facelift.The R6m upgrade will be confined be-

tween Church and Marais roads.Mayoral Committee member for Trans-

port Brett Herron says the upgrade will in-clude replacing the railing posts along thesea wall, re-paving the walkway along thepromenade, upgrading the parking area op-posite Church Road and installing new playequipment and street furniture.Sea Point, Fresnaye and Bantry Bay Rate-

payers’ Association spokesperson DavidPolovin says the promenade contributes tothe health, happiness and wellbeing ofmany, making an upgrade of utmost impor-tance.“It contributes to the wealth of the city in

terms of attracting visitors who spend theirmoney on nearby accommodation, restau-rants, shopping facilities and entertain-ment. The promenade needs to be constantlymaintained and improved to make it aworld-class attraction and among the bestbeachfront walkways in the world,” he says.Mouille Point Ratepayers’ Association

spokesperson JaneMeyer says their sectionof the promenadewill only be upgraded oncethe sea wall rehabilitation is complete.“We do understand people will be slightly

inconvenienced during the process as cer-tain areas will be cordoned off. But this isa small price to pay for a revamped and up-graded promenade. We believe they will becompacting soil and filling in holes, puttingin new and effective irrigation, laying newlawn where necessary and planting more

trees. Once complete, the promenade will beeven better,” she says.The R35m rehabilitation of the Mouille

Point sea wall between Three Anchor Bayand the Mouille Point lighthouse is current-ly underway and is expected to be completedby February next year.“Phase Two of this work between the

Mouille Point lighthouse to the GrangerBay-end of the wall, plus some work in thevicinity of Rocklands Beach, will be adver-

tised later this year with the intention tocommence construction early next year,”says Herron.The upgrades are a step in the right direc-

tion, but Polovin says the ratepayers’ associ-ation believes more should be done to main-tain the promenade.“We believe that it’s long overdue to coor-

dinate the management of the promenade,the adjoining beaches and the adjacentgreen open spaces. They are intimately con-

nected spaces and each supports the otherin contributing to the great outdoor experi-ence Capetonians and visitors love and en-joy.”He says the development of theurbanpark

is a good example of what can be done.“We call upon council to develop a vision

for the promenade in the years ahead, andwe intendcontributingvigorously to that de-bate on behalf of the residents in our area,”he says.

Cape Town is a melting pot of culture.A veritable feast for the eye, ear and – come tomorrow,

Heritage Day – also for the taste buds.Anything and everything that can be grilled will end

up on the braai grills.One could be forgiven for thinking smoke signals are

making a return as a form of communication.And what better way to, er, communicate than over a

plate of braaivleis and a glass of something interestingin the hand.Take ameander downLongStreet and there is a blissful

buzz on the street.If you can look beyond the unofficial car guards and

the street children, you will discover a Cape Town likeno other.From theMother City’s oldest book stores to stores that

specialise in seemingly outlandish outfits.Yet these calico wonders – in two-pieces and with frills

and fancy bits so unlike modern South African clothes– speak of high cultures and class as well.Stores that appeal to fellow-Africans fromMali,Angola,

the Congo and beyond show off colourful clothes andcloths that are full in colour as they are rich in culture.It is amazing what a bright orange or green outfit can

do to the human spirit.It almost transcends the imagination of those dulled by

Westernisation.There is, after all, only somuch a jeans, t-shirt and plak-

kies can do for the soul.Stand still for a minute and you will hear the strains

of French, Arabic and a mish-mash of African and Euro-pean language filtering through the air to caress yourears.These are sounds of beauty waiting for the eager ear

to lap them up.While we dress, speak, look and act differently, there

is nothing like a braai to cheer us.Your stomach will thank you.

Route of frustrationI wonder who can assist with the dailyproblems we are experiencing with theMyCiTi bus service.In themorning it runs smoothly, but in

the evening it’s a nightmare.The bus service should run every 10

minutes.But if you get a bus every 30 minutes,

consider yourself lucky. And by the timethe bus reaches Darling Street [in CapeTownCBD] it has to keep driving past thebus stop because it is too full.

If you stand in Adderley Street all yousee are buses 108, 106 and 103 almost eve-ry five minutes.I’ve timed them; buses 108 and 106 run

every five minutes – always empty –while we have to wait for a bus that doesnot pitch.After almost daily complaints using

our own airtime and having to pay latefees for fetching our childrenat aftercare,it just becomes too much as budgets aretight and schools don’t want to hear thatthe bus was late.Youwork for a boss and can’t come and

go as you please.I’ve had no response from MyCiTi de-

spite numerous complaints and no re-sponse.

When you call the operator they thinkyou are lying because they ask you allsorts of silly questions but your problemis never resolved.Brace yourself because tomorrow at

16:40 no bus will arrive and it’s the same

frustration all over again.So how is the MyCiTi bus good for the

people that take the 102 route in theevening?The City is expanding routes monthly,

but they can’t service the current routes.FRUSTRATED COMMUTERCity of Cape Town Mayoral Commit-tee member for Transport Brett Her-ron responds: The MyCiTi Salt Riverroute (102) was affected by the construc-tion of the new MyCiTi station in Adder-ley Street in the Cape Town CBD.Buses on this route are scheduled to

travel alongAdderley Street andwere de-layed because of the traffic congestion as-sociated with the construction work,which has now been completed.As the writer has noted, the delays on

this route were more pronounced as theday progressed and especially during theafternoon peakhours due to the knock-oneffect of the earlier delays.The City of Cape Town apologises for

this inconvenience which was as a resultof our ongoing efforts to improve publictransport across the city.We are at the same time pleased to note

that the MyCiTi station in AdderleyStreet will be operational as from Satur-day 4 October.A new timetable will be implemented

to address the schedule adherence of theMyCiTi buses on the Salt River route.These changes will be communicated toour residents in due course.

Thanks for amemorabletour of theMother CityI take this opportunity to onceagain thank People’s Post staff whowere on the bus with us, as well as theCity Sightseeing bus driver and youngassistant who handed out the ear-phones.You were all friendly and received

us with the warmest welcome.Thank you very much.I must applaud the system you used

for choosing the selected women.It was such a diverse group and we

all blended so well together.The snacks was more a light lunch

than a snack.This was pleasantly surprising and

most appreciated.On a personal note, [People’s Post

news editor] Mandy King was like ateacher, checking to see if everyonewas present and then again checkingto see if everyone was on the bus whenwe left Signal Hill.That was funny for me considering

we are all grownwomen, but it showedyour concern for the people who wereentrusted in your care and thiswas ad-mirable.I had a wonderful time and my ulti-

mate appreciation and thanksmust goto the almighty Allah who grantedweather that was perfect for the occa-sion, who took away from me the fearof heights and granted us a safe busride.Ameen.May He also reward you all well for

the time and effort you have put in thistrip.In-Shaa-Allah (Godwilling). Ameen.

moted during CarpoolWeek this Oc-tober.

With 22% more cars on the roads anda 80% higher petrol price than five yearsago, the demands on private transport isgrowing fast, with increasing negative ef-fects on the environment.Carpool Week champion Daniel Claas-

Carpooling provides a viable solutionto congestion, affordablemobility and re-ducing carbon emissions.South Africa’s second Carpool Week

takes place from 6 to 10 October.“Carpooling does not mean you cannot

ready have a noticeable positive impact.”Motorists can save R68 by sharing 100kmwith another person.This is in addition to carpooling bene-

fiting the environment and freeing uproad space.All are urged to join South African ce-

lebrities and thousands of people to raise

awareness by taking and sharing a car-pool selfie during Carpool Week.“Consciously look for more opportuni-

ties not to travel alone. Sometimeswe on-ly have to try something once before weask ourselves: ‘Why haven’t I been doingthis for years?’” he says.Claassen initiated the first Carpool

Week last year and has six years’ experi-ence in getting South Africans to sharemore journeys.He is also the founder of FindaLift, a

carpool movement that recently won therunner-up award for Clean Tech Innova-tion in theMail &GuardianGreening theFuture 2014 awards.

NEW CTO CHORUS MASTER

A Masterfull moveLOUISA STEYL

@LouNotes

A local choral enthusiast has workedhimself up the ranks at Cape Town Op-era (CTO), culminating in recently be-

ing appointed as the newCape Town ChorusMaster.Marvin Kernelle succeeds Albert Horne,

who took up a post at Hessisches Staat-stheater in Wiesbaden, Germany.Born in Bonteheuwel, Marvin grew up in

Bellair in Bellville.Whenhewas just 13, he startedplaying the

organ under the tutelage of the well-knownorganist Edwin Mullins. But it wasn’t until2003 that he started working with the CTO.This Parow North resident is an unabashedopera-lover. “There is something about thecomplete musically immersive experienceof an opera and choral music that neitherneeds nor asks for excuses,” he says. “Yougo to the opera, the music starts, and itdoesn’t let you go until the very end.”Marvin auditioned for the CTO’s choral

training programme in December 2003 andwas accepted the following year, which alsohappened to be his last chance as the pro-gramme was discontinued the followingyear.Under the guidance of Virginia Davids,Marvin studied towards a Performers Diplo-ma at the University of Cape Town’s OperaSchool from 2005 to 2007. In 2008 he joined

the CTO’s Opera Chorus and went on to per-form in many of their productions in SouthAfrica and abroad.Marvinwasa fulltime chorusmemberand

an assistant chorus conductor when theCTO won the International Chorus Awardin London last year.He also stretched his legs as a chorusmas-

ter when he worked with the children’schoir for Carmen in 2010 and Otello (2013).When Madama Butterfly was staged in

September last year, Marvin performed allthe back stage conducting. But all this im-pressive experience hasn’t affected his play-ful sense of humour.“We usually perform the Hallellujah med-

ley at the end of our concerts,” he says andat a certain section, he keeps accidentallygiving the correct cue to the wrong voicegroup.“Sonowwhenweperform thismedley, the

chorus have developed a signature movethat showsme it’s not the tenors but themez-zo-sopranos’ turn,” he says. “I’m sure it willbe really funny when you see it live.”Marvin explains that being a chorus mas-

ter means conducting, planning and leadingthe vocal performances of the opera chorus.“I would need to audition and prepare

singers for all operas and concerts and en-sure that the standard is extremely high,”he adds.Marvin is also responsible for ensuring

that the chorus demonstrates the highestpossible level of artistic excellence at alltimes in its contribution to the work andname of the company, which means that heneeds to know each and every chorus mem-bers’ vocal needs and abilities.Before being chosen as the new chorus

master, Marvin was the project manager forCTO’s West Coast choral outreach pro-gramme. This has made him passionateabout outreach work and keen to get youngchildren excited about opera and choral mu-sic. “Continual exposure and educationfrom a very young age is key,” he says.“That’swhat gotme excited. Iwas exposed

to choral music and opera from an early ageand those sounds are still ringing aloud.”Now that he’s holding the reins, Marvin

says he’d like to build on the already excel-lent standard of the chorus. He would alsolike to introduce South African composersto the chorus. “A Classical Afrikaans reper-toire is at the top ofmy list,” he says enthusi-astically.The Marriage of Figaro is the first Cape

Town Opera production where Marvin willbe theChorusMaster. CapeTownOperawillconclude its 2014 season with The Marriageof Figaro at Artscape from 18 to 26 Octoberand Argento’s Postcard fromMorocco also atArtscape in November.V Visit www.capetownopera.co.za for more on thecompany and shows.

Muso makes harmony with kidsLOUISA STEYL

@lounotes

A musician is using his experience tochange the lives of South African chil-dren.Sebastian Guile started the Harmony

Music Foundation after his own personalhardship inspired him to help others.Sebastian travelled to Saudi Arabia

about four years ago to teach music, butshortly after he got there, he contracteda rare stomach bug. While he recovered,his health continued to deteriorate andby the beginning of 2012 he was so sickhe couldn’t even get out of bed.After being examined by over 20 doc-

tors and losing 25kg, it was finally discov-ered that he has Celiac Disease, an ex-treme gluten sensitivity. Cutting glutenfrom his diet caused his body to detoxify,which Sebastian says was worse than theillness itself.All this gave him a lot of time to reflect

on what is most important to him. Beingpassionate about music education, he de-cided to get involved with teaching peo-ple who really want to be taught.After conductinga lot of researchabout

the legal processes for NPOs, syllabi andeven how to source students, Sebastianco-founded the Harmony Music Founda-tion (HMF) with Tammie-Ann Barnesand Tracy-Lee Green.HMF sources students from schools

He currently works with theSA Children’s Home in Gardens, StAnne’s Home in Woodstock, ChristineRevell Children’s Home in Athlone, Mar-garet’s House in Lansdowne andHeatherdale Children’s Home, also inAthlone. “I’m not 100%better yet, but I’mslowly taking onmore as I feel better,” hesays. Sebastian uses what he calls an im-plicit teaching model where concepts arelearnt through games. “I’m trying tomake it as fun and engaging and as differ-

ent from a regular music class as possi-ble,” he says. For example, the song byQueen, Wewill rock you, teaches childrenabout body percussion by tapping thebeat with their bodies. He also uses mu-sic therapy to help teach children to ex-press their emotions. Sebastian is look-ing for volunteer music teachers and do-nations of instruments for the children.He uses prizes to encourage his pupilsandanydonationswouldbehighlyappre-ciated. He will be onstage at the Willow-bridge Barnyard Theatre where he’ll beplaying drums for Born to be Wild.V Call Sebastian on 073 600 7194 or [email protected].

Vagaries of love in ‘Vertical Hour’Containing some incisive discussions ofthe causes and effect of the Iraq war, theVertical Hour is really a drama about per-sonal choice.Nadia, the protagonist, is a former jour-

nalist now serving as a professor at Yale.Most of the play’s action involves her tripwith fiancé Philip Lucas to Shropshire inthe English countryside to meet Philip’seccentric and reclusive father, Oliver.The strained relationship between Ol-

iver and Philip is revealed, while an un-spoken attraction develops betweenOliv-er and Nadia, of which Philip is suspi-cious. Nadia also learns of Oliver’s openmarriage and extramarital affairs, one ofwhich led to the accidental death of oneof Oliver’s mistresses.

This caused him to give up his Londonpractice and home, and to move to thecountry.Your interest in this play will depend

entirely on whether you believe thepremise that the lessons learned by Oliv-er in his career as a doctor and as a serialwomaniser are applicable to Nadia’sstruggle to findmeaning and peace in herlife. Or whether, as Philip believes, theold man is just trying to seduce his son’sgorgeous intended.V The show runs at the Theatre on the Bay untilSaturday 27 September with shows at 20:00, aswell as 17:00 on Fridays. Book at Computicket orcall (021) 438 3301. Three readers can win doubletickets to the show. Visit www.peoplespost.co.zaon #WinningWednesday to enter.

RETREAT / SEAWINDS

Skaters bring home goldTASMIN CUPIDO

@TazzCup

Watching them strut their stuff on thewooden rink is like something froma movie.

Think Roll Bounce, the flick in whichyoung Americans spend their summer holi-days at a roller skating rink in the 1970s. Butthese teens do not just glide around the rink– cool tunes, rhythmicmoves andgroovy for-mations accompany their group perform-ances.Six Mitchell’s Plain youth are doing just

that while the opening chords of MichaelJackson’s Thriller blares from the speakersas they prepare to commence their routine.Theatrically the group set off in formations,swaying in sync and enthralling their audi-ence.This routine won them gold at the South

African Roller Skating Championships inMotherwell in theEasternCape at the begin-ning of the month.The Mitchell’s Plain Skating Club youths

competed in the junior section, where theydid battle against 11 teams from clubs acrossthe country.And the achievement is quite a feat for the

young skaters and the club. “The club wasestablished more than 10 years ago, but wemainly focused on speed skating,” sayschairperson Nabuweya Abrahams.“Weonly introducedartistic skatingat the

club in December last year.”The gold-winning youths – Caleb van der

Westhuizen, Rakeen Ontong, Tashreeq Ab-rahams, Shakoor Essop, Ngeniso GoiyelaandNashiemaAbrahams–areagedbetween

eight and 13. Theyall live inMitchell’s Plain.“Some of the skaters only started skating

recently, but they were persistent in want-ing to learn. Over the months their abilitiesimproved tremendously,” Abrahams ex-plains.“In the end, their hard work and commit-

ment paid off and theywon gold in their firstnational competition.”She further explains the tournament was

the first of its kind, as the sporting code isnot “as popular as it is in other countries”.“Many of the skaters were shocked to see

the level of skating when they arrived in theEastern Cape,” Abrahams recalls.“When they saw the way the other skaters

performed, they doubted their own abilitiesand questioned whether they would be com-petitive. Theynever thought theywouldwingold.”Team coach Vusikhaya Stali is proud of

the team’s performance: “The champion-shipwinwill only strengthen and encouragethe young ones to train harder. The skatershad lots of fun and itwas anawesome experi-ence for all of them. The children realisedhard work does, indeed, pay off.”As the SA Speed Skating Championships,

Muzammil createssporting memoriesTASMIN CUPIDO

@TazzCup

Muzammil Sheik ishappiest whenhe’s wearing pads

and a helmet.It’s the choice of balland willowwhich differsfor this 17-year-old in thesporting world – a crick-et bat or hockey stick.While he stumbled up-on hockey by chance,Muzammil has beenplaying cricket “eversince I can remember”.And while he may oneday have the tough deci-sion of choosing betweenthe two sporting codes,he is continuing to ridethe wave of his recentsuccess and always giv-ing his best at both.The Rylands Estateresident was recentlynamed in South Africanunder-18 hockey team toplay tests against Aus-tralia. He was alsonamed in the Western Province under-17Ateam for the Cricket South Africa under-17Week in Johannesburg in December.“I love both cricket and hockey; my pas-sion for the sports is what fuels my desireto play,” he says.“I am at my happiest when I am playingsport – the thrill of hitting sixes, outwittingthe bowler or stopping a brilliant drag-flickis what motivates and inspires me.”Muzzi, as he is fondly known, was select-ed as goalkeeper for the SA and WP under-18 hockey teams.But, he says, hehas playedas an outfielder and striker for his club,Central Hockey Club.In cricket, he shows his mettle as a mid-dle order batsman (four or five) and canbowl and keep wicket as well.The Rondebosch Boys’ High School pupilsays he started playing hockey “almost bymistake”.“When I attended PinelandsHigh School,the school had a tour to the Eastern Cape.They needed a goalkeeper and asked if Iwould be interested,” he explains.“I agreed and two years later I am reallyenjoying the experience.”

Muzammil remem-bers his selection to theRondebosch Boys’ HighSchool first cricket teamand scoring his first cen-tury against Bishops atthe age of 12 as his mostmemorable moment onthe cricket field, whilehis favourite moment onthe astroturf came fromhis three-time selectionto the SA under-18 andunder-16 squads; the lat-ter being twice.He has played repre-sentative cricket sinceunder-13 and has trav-elled to, among others,Dubai and Holland, tohone his skills. “I mostvalue the fact that I amblessed to be able to playthese sports and that Iam allowed so much op-portunity to do so,” Muz-ammil says.“I am also looking for-ward to my school’s tourto Europe – Holland,France and Belgium –

next year.”And as with most school sport stars, theGrade 11 pupil tries to juggle his sportingcareer with academics. “Balancing sportand academics is very difficult and I trymybest to do it. My parents are always on myback aboutmy academics and I hope I don’tdisappoint them,” he says.“In the future, Iwould love to study some-thing in sport science while playing profes-sional sport. After matric I want to take ayear off studying to play cricket andhockeyinHolland, theMecca of hockey. I alsowantto play for the Cape Cobras and the Proteasone day.”The former Rylands Primary School pu-pil, who is also a member of the RBHS firstsoccer team and a keen swimmer and golf-er, credits his parents and siblings for hissuccess. “They have been my rock – with-out them, I would not have achieved 20%of what I have thus far,” he says.“My mom has never missed a matchwhich I have been involved in – be it hockeyor cricket. Andwhilemy brother and sisterare not as much into sport as I am, theyhave always supported me.
